How does tradin a potential future All-Star defenseman, a potential league-wide top 10 defenseman, and what some consider to possibly to be part of the core of Team Canada in the coming years make sense to trade away for a player with no real future and a mid round pick? Or could this just be more of the norm in tradin what is over-the-hill Leafs for any and all future stars of the NHL? The trade makes absolutely no sense. If you were askin for Krajicek or Novak, or even Van Ryn it possibly would make sense, but not Bouwmeester.
